#Ghostbusters #Afterlife #EasterEggs
What did you think of the movie?
Amazing.
Yes it's true, this movie has no originality.
Wow...where did Ghostbuster's Afterlife hurt you? Dude, the movie was AWESOME! Was it a pretty obvious attempt to tickle all of my "memberberries?" SURE! But man did that feel good. It was exactly what I needed right now. You can't tell me that last part of the movie didn't get to you. 5 out of 5 for me.
Loved it
Super fun. The lack of connections to Ghostbusters 2 was disappointing, but otherwise it was excellent.
The “For Harold” really got me there at the end.
Great movie.
I liked that too, but immediately after that, the film abruptly ended without any post climactic wrap up. It was odd.
@@CinemaGulp did you stay for the very end?? After the credits?
Did he actually die? I didn't know
@@CinemaGulp it had two post credit scenes.
For me it was when they showed him helping Phoebe. The sudden silence was a great touch.
Gozer: "Are you a god?"
Ray: *thinks about it*
Peter: "Ray..."
Winston: "Come on man!"
As soon as I find out the Gozer was the villain, that 'correct' answer was the first thing that crossed my mind!!
@@sofiaannaalexandre7167 The fact that Ray is so honest that he really had to think about it was one of the funniest things from the movie.
Few little details I caught. Some of the escaping ghosts during the third act were modeled after the toys and designs from "The Real Ghostbusters", Ivo Shandor was the big bad in the video game, written by Dan and Harold as a sorta sequel to the first two movies, the zombie in the diner was sculpted to look like the taxi driver in the montage of the first movie, the mini staypuffed man that melted on the barbeque gave a thumbs up like the T800 in T2 and the three marshmallow men burning in Ecto-1 at the end of the movie were made to look like the original when his face got melted
swear to god I was going to comment all those things too!!! Saw the movie yesterday in the cinema and loved it. They say don't touch the classics, but this was the best sequel of all time!
I thought the ghost in the diner was more of a nod to the second movie, but you are spot on.. I also am probably reading more into things.. but there is a blink and you’ll miss it scene of a mine cart leaking goo in the town.. made me think of the train and river of ooz from gb2
I was starting to think I was the only person who noticed. I haven't seen a video yet that mentioned this.
How about the beginning when they egon is on his doorstep and they do a side shot of him. To me that is definitely a nod to the real Ghostbusters egon who actually had blonde or white hair instead of ramis' dark hair. Plus the front curl whipping in the wind. He looked more like real Ghostbusters egon than Ramis' Egon imo. Kudos to all of u
Maid sign from Venkman’s office door was in Egons secret bunker. Taped to a box on the wall. And there was a jar of mold slime in there too.
I saw ghostbusters afterlife last night and LOVED this movie so much
Loved it too! Memberberries yes, but I need those right about now.
I literally just got home from the theater. First thing I looked up was Easter egg videos. Such a funny movie.
Me too
It’s what every ghostbusters fan has been waiting for
I thought it was awesome as well
I saw Ghostbusters Afterlife today and it is SO GOOD! It’s such an amazing tribute to Harold Ramis and his character Egon Spengler. The ending was so touching it made me cry. There are so many callbacks to the original movie, and I love how the soundtrack is almost identical to the original movies score. AND THE ORIGINAL GHOSTBUSTER ACTORS COME BACK FOR THE MOVIE!! They all played their characters so well, I was overjoyed to see them play those roles again. And Phoebe acts just like Egon Spengler, and Podcast is kinda like Ray and the whole movie is just AMAZING!!!! I am definitely going to see again as soon as possible. If your a diehard Ghostbusters fan, or you just really like the 1984 movie, I definitely recommend you watch this. One of the best sequels to any movie I’ve ever seen!
Oh! Yeah!! Teenager in the, then, massive screen cinema!! What an experience!!!
The Easter egg everyone keeps overlooking is the first scene in which we see Egon, mostly in silhouette. His hair is visible, and in addition to being shock white, he also has an extreme curl over his forehead. This is a callback to the animated series, in which Egon had the same white hair and curl.
Thats not an easter egg it was meant to be obviously him
@@blank-dr2kx that’s what “Easter egg” means.
The cartoon changed his hair to blonde to give the characters distinctive looks.
Egon in the film had white hair because that's what happens to people when they age and that's how Harold Ramis looked when he died at 69 years old.
There was no easter egg. It was not a callback. That's just how he naturally looked.
@@Doctor_Omegaeaster eggs are never hidden well my mom just tossed them in the grass all obvious
The "Eye Popper" ghost shown in Summerville was the same one released in The Real Ghostbusters action figure line by Kenner.
You are correct :)
I caught at as well.
I caught that also. I had that toy as a kid.
Yeah.
If you stayed for the credits, there is a song with words "ghost never leave a haunted house." It was co-written and performed by McKenna Grace, aka Phoebe Spengler. Didn't sound like her and sounded like a much older person, but that just shows how talented she really is. She plays 12 in the movie, and is now 15. She was awesome in the movie Gifted and she was great on Young Sheldon where she played a girl who was smarter than Sheldon. She's been in a LOT of things already, and always does a great job. I loved how she made Phoebe remind us of Egon without being a caricature. Carried the role and much of the movie. Kudos!
She was also in some movie where she played a Genius Psycho Kid who pushes her colleague down a cliff and stuff.She's really gifted
I know right! She was great in Netflix The Haunting of Hill House. She's got a long and great Hollywood career ahead for her.
She played the younger Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel, too.
That was the worst song, it almost ruined how good the movie was.
@@mgtfosthe song was the best part! I had to google it before it was done
I loved this movie! I laughed, I cried. Only one thing missing, where's Oscar?
I thought the only thing missing was slimer
@@jacobparr2354 True, maybe in the next one.
@@jacobparr2354 I miss Slimer, too, but I thought Muncher was a pretty cute successor of sorts to him.
Oscar would've been to "on the nose" of a reference to GB2. They actually try to pretend that one maybe didn't happen. They were pretty careful to keep anything concrete out of this film, including the title. Notice that it is *NOT* called "Ghostbusters *3* : Afterlife".
@@steezyshowcase I agree I liked muncher too
there's only one thing that you can say about "GB: Afterlife":
The whole movie is a love letter to the fans! 👍👍👍👍
Yes, this is how you do a reboot/sequel. Ghostbusters (2016) are you paying attention?
Couple of other minor Easter eggs: in Egon’s lab we see the “Maid I need room service” door tag from Venkman’s office in the original. Plus the orange computer thing on a stand that is removed during their eviction in 1984 is also in Egon’s lab.
That orange thing was what I noticed as an easter egg as well.
THIS is how you do a 30+ year later sequel!! Introduce a new cast, but stay true to and recognize the original. The inclusion of the original cast was great, especially the way they included Harold Ramis (which supposable was fully approved by his daughter). Making him a ghost and not speak really helped sell the "realism" of him being there. And the hero shot of the four original 'Busters in action was perfect!
As a huge GB fan, I found this file to be a fun ride! There is a Terminator 2 Easter egg when one of the Mini Puffs gave the “thumbs up” sign as it melted into the grill!
oh cool, you re right.
Those little marshmallows were so suicidal 😂 I laughed so hard
When the kids are in the diner going over everything they are seeing around the mine, everyone sitting around them starts to listen in very much like the scene where the boys were in jail in 1984 and we found out that Peter never studied.
I noticed that too. It was pretty cool including that.
Caught that one too.
I just came back watching this film and I absolutely loved it
It was great 😊!!
I think there was an easter egg when Podcast first turns on the proton pack that Phoebe is wearing. It powers up with that awesome whine and Podcast takes some frightened steps back like in the elevator since in Ghostbusters.
yes, i was thinkin the same in that moment
But Phoebe actually TESTS the proton pack before going after ghosts. ;-)
The actual sound design of the cyclotron in Phoebe’s repaired pack also has a slight unstable “flutter” to it, on the first test with Podcast, which is appropriate as it was a 30 year old pack and it’s possible some of the parts that were replaced may not be in perfect shape (or Phoebe put them in wrong or not fully seated, but still, not bad for a first time fix on a piece of hardware she never worked on before)
The flutter appears to be gone in the next scenes, indicating that she probably tweaked it a bit or found good repair parts.
1) The kids lowering themselves down the mineshaft was a callback to GB2 when they lowered Ray beneath the street into the old Union Station to discover the river of slime. 2) I was hoping for a Rick Moranis cameo... disappointed by that but overall loved the film.
It was reported ages ago that Rick was not returning. Rick is retired from acting. He won't come back for anyone sadly.
@@LUCKO2022 He's not entirely retired from acting, he's just extremely picky and his role would've been a glorified cameo if anything. If they offered him a substantial role in the sequel and it was well written, I'm sure he'd be in it.
@@Ironlantern723 not that picky.. he was in two flintsone movies.
@@MephProduction That was Stephen Baldwin in the second one, and the first was before his semi-retirement. The only non-voice acting role he's done is mostly return roles to his SCTV years.
@@LUCKO2022 Rick did a Mint Mobile ad for Ryan Reynolds, Canadian brotherhood I guess. (plus all he did was stand there as I recall)
the movie was great!
Why did you stop uploading
My favorite since hacksaw ridge!
I'm not going to lie...I teared up during THAT scene. Magnificently done.
Still trying to figure out whether or not you like this movie. I noticed a whole lot of shade being thrown at it. I haven't seen it yet. Spoilers don't bother me. I'm sure I'll enjoy it regardless because I like the cast. I think it'll be fun to see the kids discovering all of this stuff for the first time. What I will say is that some of the things that you refer to as callbacks I think are actually organic and necessary because it takes place in the same world, the same timeline and we are in the House of one of the original characters. So I think it's only natural that when he moved out the country he brought these items with him, including the proton packs, the suits, and the car. All of these things that we are referring to as callbacks you could say for any sequel. Because they are sequels and take place in the same world and our continuations of the same story. So naturally some of these same elements will be there. As far as the similar plot point, I can be on board with those and I can see why you might have an issue if all they did was recycle the story from the first movie. There is a difference between recycling a story and continuing a story. I will be curious to see if they get rid of Gozer once and for all, that's including the story from the first one.
(SPOILER) I think it fair to say the characters and tone are perfect, but they play it too safe by lifting the Gozer plot from the original. I liked it a good deal, but would have loved it more had they cooked up something new besides the kids.
You should do a UA-cam series where you review movies you haven’t seen yet.
My takeaway from the video's that Ryan is saying that the movie appears to be a little bit over reliant on nostalgia and although good, it was a little bit unoriginal although it is an enjoyable film.
I felt the same thing. Like is he trying to say thing word Ghostbusters for a drinking game?
@@RobbieRocketship I've been toying with the idea of having a channel that reviews films that don't actually exist.
In Egons lab, on the cabinet the suits are in, there is a door handle sign hanging on that says “‘maid”, the same hanging sign that is on there office at the start of the first movie
Omg your right! I never would’ve picked that up, thanks.
The Stay Puft scene in the store looked a lot like the scene from the movie Gremlins in the bar scene.
The movie "Cannibal Girls" was playing in the theaters in both Afterlife and Ghostbusters II !
I was laughing so hard seeing Paul Rudd laying down, I knew the reference right away. Too funny!
The little flower in his hair was so cute and made me laugh!!
The memberberries in the thumbnail are PERFECT! I was thinking “‘member this?” in their voices the whole movie 😂👻
This was more or less a reference to super obvious things for people who have never seem the originals. I wanted some hidden details
Almost every one of these "eastereggs" were dumb and obvious AF... the whole video had me looking like WTF is this crap... and after every "easteregg" they say "just like the 1984 movie, Ghostbusters" as if we managed to forget what film this is supposed to be a sequel of. I'm actually angry after watching this -_-
Did you notice the theater playing "Cannibal Girls"? It was the movie Ivan Reitman directed before he would direct Ghostbusters.
Just watched Ghostbusters Afterlife with my family. All of us really enjoyed it. I loved it and it felt familiar. My kids had barely seen the originals….loved it too. Very balanced fan service…..
The nostalgia was as real as you can get, corny in some parts but the tribute was spot on. Love it!
My friend asked how was it? I said preposterous and corny and I adored every minute of it lol
This movie was absolutely phenomenal. I cried at the end. The only thing I think it missed was Ecto 1’s sire. Needed more of it.
Yes but if there is a sequel it might make sense as this is kind of a tease of the car in a way.
Erm the siren was in this, where its being driven at the end by Winston
@@squeezybob84 the siren is in it before Winston appears, when they drive it out of the police station garage (nearly the exact same shot as when it first leaves the fire station in the 1984 movie) There's also a large Stay Puft ad in that shot.
Movie was wonderful and sweet tribute to Harold, I tear up and cheered when the 3 of four originals showed up. Good movie which I’ll go see it again.
I hate to admit it...but I teared up too lol.
Always gets me with the “your mom” joke! 🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂😂
Just saw it last night, it was so fun and emotional. I really loved it!
I teared up ❤️🥰 my heart is full
3:54 Yeah, I totally understand that sentiment.
8:00 2020 was a such a disaster that it delayed the return of Gozer by a year.
9:59 That was rather unexpected.
This movie could’ve used more references to Ghostbusters (1984), there wasn’t quite enough in my opinion.
I mean too much wouldn’t be good cause it would just be the same blueprint with limits details changed
just watch the original then. lol
The "Im a scientist!" line is also a reference from the original
I’m almost positive Rudd was reading an Avengers comic book in one scene when the kids are watching Child’s Play.
He was.
Ryan seems exhausted telling people about these Easter eggs.
There is a lot of fan service no doubt, but this was one of my favorite movie going experiences in a long time. Really happy with this film regardless.
Thank you for making me feel as old as the Ghostbusters looked at the end of this movie.
I think my favorite part of this movie is that it was NOT set in NYC. It carries the story forward with new places and characters, but with very strong ties to the original. So well done for a sequel. The Fan Service was absolutely necessary to tie them together, which is where GB 2016 went so wrong.
I actually got to see this movie on my Birthday (Nov 18th). What an awesome present from my girlfriend....a dinner and a movie. I loved the "For Harold" at the end of the movie. The end credits had quite a few cameos....like Sigorney Weaver, Ronda Rousey. This movie was a true sequel to the originals. Too bad Harold didn't get to be in the movie. This was the closest thing we get to see to an original reunion. Very well done.
That was awesome. Movie was great! I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Ernie Hudson at Sacramento Airport years ago when there were only scripts in the works. He was so excited about it and I was even more excited to learn about it and speak with him.
LMAOOO there is so much shade in this video, nice job Ryan.
Family Hiding under the table- GB2 courtroom.
Door handle sign on flightsuit locker- Same one hanging on Venekman's office door.
Ecto 1 leaving police station- iconic scene in GB1 of ecto leaving the firehouse.
Phoebe telling podcast to turn on the proton pack and podcast backing away- elevator in GB1
Have you come to die?
What? No! I'm 12!
I freaking love this film.
There is an easter egg you might have missed, in the background of one scene it shows the theater, on the movies that it is showing it says "cannibal girls" which was a movie that Ivan Reitman directed, the original director of ghostbusters.
If we get a sequel to this movie with those kids in it and we got these 3 ghostbusters still alive bro I'm sold I they got another 2 movies to make if you ask me
The cast of kids was actually pretty great! I'm down for a trilogy with this cast.
I'm starting to think that ScreenCrush didn't like the continuous callbacks to the original...
It's very subtle, u have to be really paying attention
What makes you say that? I didn’t listen to the words he said, but I enjoyed clapping with my mouth open when images from the 1984 film ‘Ghostbusters’ were on screen.
It just starts in my country today. Love it. Great call backs. However, may I corrected you a bit? We knew the mom was Egon's daughter because they said she inherited it from her late father, (assuming we knew it was Egon in the opening). The only thing that didn't make sense was that Egon didn't get trap with all the other ghosts.
Saw the film last night, i really loved it. Yes it's probably not going to win any academy awards but what an awesome wsy to send up Egon & pass the torch.
GREAT STUFF my fav Easter egg was the ghost that was based on the toy BUG EYE GHOST. his eye comes smashing out the shop window first then followed buy his body.
Some other Easter Eggs:
1. Podcast records everything for his podcast the way Ray recorded all of their paranormal investigations on a tape recorder.
2. When Paul Rudd is about to step on the ghost trap for the first time, he says, “I always wanted to do this,” like Bill Murray did when he pulls out the table cloth in the hotel on their first job.
3. Not a call back, but Ivo Shandor’s preserved body in a glass casket is likely a reference to Vladimir Lenin’s preserved body in a glass casket.
4. Podcast’s impromptu idea to use the Aztec death whistle making things worse was reminiscent of Ray deciding to charge the Library Ghost and having that backfire.
5. The OG Ghostbusters cross the streams to defeat Gozer the way they did in the first film.
6. Phoebe not emoting then explaining her revulsion is reminiscent to Egon not emoting then explaining his crippling fear when the team confronts Gozer in the first movie.
7. Egon’s farm saves his family when they’re evicted parallels the way Ray’s family farm in upstate NY saves the team when they mortgage the property.
That’s all I can remember at the moment!
The only other reference I caught was when the OG ghostbusters are using their proton packs one of them mentions about crossing the streams which was the original way they won back in the 80’s
I honestly can't tell if yall are being sarcastic/facetious or really just stating obvious things like yall discovered something unknown
Ray said Gozer was uncrossing the streams when they weren’t able to take her down
Hahahaha...this breakdown vid is perfect. Easter egg: this thing is exactly the same as the other thing...but slightly different
Wait...with Ray's post credit scene, did they intentionally break the movie so the next generation can rebuild it? They got the tools. They got the talent
Wow Ryan, so much low key sarcasm, lol. Another great video.
I like how they referenced the Big S little p when talking about the earthquake fault lines, and then the diner’s first two letters were Sp for Spinners Diner.
Good catch!!
At this point I’m seeing some movies (like this one) and some series just to see Ryan’s videos. The final part of this one, worth everything
This movie was much better than I was expecting! I'm so glad it is
The toy you mention having a gunner seat on the side was specifically made for this movie. The original Ecto-1 had a seat on the roof and a capture claw on the back
The gunner seat was in the cartoon
The marshmallow that burns on the grill holds up it's thumb just like Arnold in T2.
You missed one Easter Egg that I noticed: early in the movie we see Phoebe and Podcast standing outside of the town's theatre, and the movie on the marquee is CANNIBAL GIRLS, directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Eugene Levy. In G.B. II, there's a scene outside of a New York cinema where that same movie is listed on the marquee, when a woman's fur coat comes to life and runs off down the street!
I was Egon for Halloween this year and this movie did not disappoint.
The mini marshmallow man that walks onto the grill throws up a thumbs up as he melts away in reference to the end of Terminator 2.
Ghostbuster berries for Thanksgiving and Spider-berries for Christmas
I’m not going to lie, Harold Ramis part choked me up a bit….. IM NOT CRYING, YOURE CRYING!!!
Ray's glasses appear in the sky when he disappears after hugging his daughter! Mind blown!
Fantastic vid, Ryan. I especially appreciated your .cough. “subtle” “knods” of the shall we say “foundation” of this film .winky face.
Just watched the movie and loved it. But man, watching this late video shows how much better Ryan and this channel has gotten at these. He's way more animated and charismatic in the newer videos
Extra easter egg in the video: the episode in Community (3x4 Remedial chaos theory) from which the clip is inserted suffered a similar fate. It was supposed to come out as the 3rd episode of season three, but it was delayed for reasons. They even make a reference to it in the opening shot of the episode.
I cried in the end with Harold, was so cute. I love Ghostbusters and this movie was really cute! I had a lot of heart and I would totally watch if they expand the universe like they did with Karate Kid!
There's some dialogue used in the movie that has a callback to deleted scenes from the original movies. Phoebe's mother talks about burning down the place for insurance money, while Peter in a deleted scene in the original ghostbusters talks about burning down the firehouse for money is one example.
This might be one of your weirder deliveries... and I loved it.
Another reference is when keys asks phoebe, “was he shrieking with chains on him?” This is a reference to my favourite book “a Christmas carol”
There was a shot of the mini stay pufts near the end burning in the same manner that the original Stay Puft burned in the original.
Around 7:20-7:21 where the stay puff is melting, he's giving a thumbs up which might be a nod to terminator 2 where Arnold gives a thumbs up when he's being lowered into the plant's smelting pit.
Something I caught that idk if it was intentional or just coincidence, was when the kids are going through the evidence lockup, Phoebe mentions just finding a bunch of guns. A minute later, in order to get the supplies, they free Muncher, making him essentially a Chekov's Gun.
When the Staypuffs are melting on the grill, the one on the right gives a thumbs up like in Terminator 2.
I liked it great references and homage to Harold
Don't you dare leave out the "Blue Velvet" reference....David Lynch...hello?
You have totaly forgotten to mention that one scene right in the middle of the movie that is totaly a call back to the movie Ghostbusters !
Fun fact: In Ghostbusters 2, the team uses the Car the Ecto 1A, an updated version of the classic ecto 1(they are 2 seperate cars) and on the side of the vehicle, was a phone number. JL5 2020. This was the original release date for afterlife before being pushed back, July 5th, 2020.
I was skeptical at first that this movie could possibly hold a candle to the original. Wow, was I surprised. This movie was awesome and exceeded expectations.
I’m glad you were here to explain ghostbusters. God bless you
This movie was a delightful surprise.
1) How about the nod to the Real Ghostbusters animated series. The shot of Ecto-1 blaring the siren as it speeds down the Brooklyn Bridge before the end credits was in tribute to the opening shot from GHOST 'R US, the pilot episode of RGB!
2) How about Egon's love for Janine in the form of an entire town! Don't believe me? What's the name of the Oklahoma town the family moved to? Summerville. Seems like a reference to Laura Summer, the voice actress who played Janine in RGB!
#64 Easter Egg....when the Little Puft Man was burning, it held up his thumb like Terminator did when he died in T2
This movie was amazing. So much negative focus has been made on bad remakes, bad sequels, that the great ones get ignored. You can tell that this movie was made by people who LOVE the source material
As a mega fan I LOVED this movie.
You missed the Mini-Staypuff giving the T2 thumbs up while melting on the grill.
I LOVED this movie. Such great fan service and I screamed when the mom rips off her outfit revealing almost the same dress zuul wore in the original!!! Loved the Sigourney Weaver scene in the post credits, I was still holding out hope for a Rick Moranis cameo.
Don’t forget Cannibal Girls, Ivan Reitman’s first film, playing at the theater in Summerville! It’s also playing at the theater in Ghostbusters II when all hell is breaking loose in the last third of the movie.
I loved this movie! I loved the ghostbusters franchise so much that I got it mentioned in my school report card
I gave a thumbs up cause I love your channel... but honestly, this new Ghostbusters is unexciting and doesn't need any explanation as it is a very simple premise.
The new movie doesn't have a following like Marvel or Star Wars and so bleh...
Anyone else notice in the temple scene when she was reading the dates there was 2021 and another 20 something but it was cut off 👀👀
The marshmallow that falls into the grill gives a T800 thumbs up. Also the movie on the run down movie theater is Cannibal Girls which is the movie playing when people are running out of the slime covered theater in Ghostbusters 2. Also Gary says there hasn't been a ghost sighting in 30 years. That places the timeline at 1991, the year that the video game was set. And of course they call Gozer "flat top". Lol
You forgot to mention the wink about Cujo being about an EVIL DOG. Foreshadowing.
My favorite was the Dragon Ball Z reference. That was amazing! I had exactly the same reaction when I first watch the Goku Gohan scene against Cell on VHS.
DAMN!!! NOSTALGIA IS A FREAKIN' DRUG!!!
There were so many things about this movie that reminded me of the old movie Ghostbusters.
The sudden Twinkie in the car, when they are stopped by the police. This evidence that Egon really loves some sweets.
I thought they were going to play some sort of cool 80's music wen the ghosts were released..but im a huge fan and just saw this movie..loved it!❤❤❤
